A Benghazi consulate attack was well coordinated and planned according to the NY Times. In particular was the second attack. Apparently the attackers had an inside informant. So they knew exactly when and where to attack the rescue convoy carrying American and Libyan personal.

Video from some hiding person may only be an excuse. A simultaneous and maybe unrelated event. The consulate attack occurred without any preceding demonstrations, according to interviews reported in the NY Times. The first attack was sudden and unexpected.
